The Ideal Candidate for Office to Residential Conversion

Conversions are not created equal. Candidate selection drives feasibility more than most line-items in the budget.

What Typically Works Best

• Smaller or segmented floor plates that allow unit layouts with natural light.
• Building geometry and window lines that support residential program.
• Clear zoning path (or realistic variance/rezoning strategy).
• Mechanical systems that can be adapted without extraordinary cost.

Underwriting Lens

Feasibility depends on unit yield, construction constraints, and the exit. The right deal pairs a viable building with capital that understands schedule and entitlement risk.
